[Verse 1]
G
There are moments in this life
D
When it's hard to carry on
A#add6
When I think about my father
C
And all the loved ones that are gone
Cm
Friends and close relationships
G
Somewhere on the other side
F#dim
They've passed into forever
Gsus2 D
But the love has never died
[Verse 2]
G
Sometimes this tired old world
D
Starts bringing my heart down
A#add6
But you gotta bear the cross
C
If you wanna wear the crown
Cm
I often get impatient
G
As Father Time keeps dragging on
F#dim F
I've waded through the darkness
Cm G D
Now I'm ready for the dawn
Bm G D
I'm ready for the dawn
[Chorus 1]
C G
I want to see heaven
D Em
Where the faithful carry on

I want to see heaven

Oh Lord
D C G
I want to see heaven
D Em
Where the pain of sin is gone
Am G
In heaven
D Em
Oh Lord
D C Cm G
I want to see heaven
[Verse 3]
G
As I read the morning paper
D
It hits me once again
A#add6
We're surrounded by the evil
C
Of a world that's dead in sin
Cm
And the only sane conclusion
G
That my crazy mind can reach
F#dim F
Is to set my heart on heaven
Gsus2 D
And to live the things I preach
[Verse 4]
G
So I'm living every moment
D
As if this day was my last
A#add6
Put my treasures where my heart is
C
And forget about the past
Cm
And if Jesus comes tomorrow
G
I'll be ready to depart
F#dim F
As He leads me to my mansion
Cm G D
I'll be following my heart
Bm G D
I'll be following my heart
[Chorus 2]
C G
I want to see heaven
D Em
Where the faithful carry on
Am G
I want to see heaven
D Em
Oh Lord
D C G
I want to see heaven
D Em
Where the pain of sin is gone
Am G
In heaven
D Em
Oh Lord
D C Cm G
I want to see heaven
[Bridge]
Am
I've tried to go the distance
Bm7
But it's more than I can bear
C
They say there's no more crying
Bm
And no more dying there
C
I've held on to the promise
B
Who so ever will believe
Em
Will have life that's never ending
Ddim7
I believe

I believe
[Chorus 3]
